Shoes, Glorious Shoes

SELFRIDGES' new shoe room really will be bigger than the ground floor of the Tate Modern, the fashion superstore confirmed this morning - at last putting paid to rumours about the forthcoming footwear emporium.

Due to open in September, it will be designed by architect Jamie Forbert and is - confirmed Selfridges head of press, Anna Ogundehin - the biggest project that the Westons have undertaken since buying the store for £628 million in July 2003.

With exclusive designs on sale from a host of labels including Givenchy, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Rodarte and Alejandro Ingelmo, area will house no less than six different salons and 10 brand boutiques.
